Burnet & Napier Year 7 Orientation Camp
The 2024 Burnet & Napier expedition to Camp Wilkin at Anglesea set off this year on the 28th of February with three buses full of eager campers.
The Year 7 students were divided into six activity groups and took part in a high ropes course, canoeing on the Anglesea River, surfing at the main beach and mountain biking through the wetlands, accompanied by our Year 10 leaders and a selection of the college’s most fearless, adrenaline-craving teachers.
The activities were ‘challenge by choice’ and it was inspiring to witness many students stepping outside of their comfort zone and conquering some personal fears by trying their hand at new experiences. Many got to hang ten for the first time with the Go Ride A Wave surf school, navigate the Anglesea River by bike and boat or conquer their fear of heights.
The Burnet & Napier teams would like to thank and congratulate all Year 7 students who attended for the manner in which they conducted themselves during our stay in Anglesea, the Year 10 leaders who did a fantastic job assisting students and staff, and the staff below who assisted in making the Orientation Camp a success and a joy.
We are looking forward to sharing some of our student’s experiences at the Yr 7 Parent Meet & Greet next Friday evening.
Thank you:
Ms Barker, Ms Nguyen, Ms Pagonis, Ms McErlain, Mr Russell, Mr Bates, Mr Hansen and Finn and Yas our PE AFL trainees.

AlifHi, my name is Alif and I’m from Bangladesh. On 31st January 2024, I came to Melbourne, Australia for my higher studies at Strathmore Secondary College. On my first day at school, I had an amazing day. I had always wanted to come Australia since I was a child. Now my dreams have come true. A few months ago I went to a beach and also I went on trams and it was amazing. Australia is so organised, neat and clean. In Australia people are very helpful and friendly. In Australia there are so many facilities like public transport, bus and train. I want to learn about new things like the Australian culture and people. My favourite sport is Football.
CassieHi! I am Cassie. I come from Fujian Province, near Hong Kong. I came to Australia 4 months ago. I am still worried about my English but I have made a lot of progress and I am very happy. I like the scenery of Australia very much. It is a beautiful country, and I like my classmates very much. They are all very friendly. They all come from different countries so that I can learn about the cultures of different countries. I'm getting used to living here. On weekends, I do a lot of things, for example, on Saturday morning, I go to Chinese class, in the afternoon I go to dance class, and in the evening I study English at home. On Sunday I go to city or other places with my good friends to play and take photos or eat food from different countries. I go to sports or play the violin after school. I like my school and my present life very much but I still miss my country and my family and friends.

Year 10 Art: Dada-inspired Collage
We are thrilled to share with you the exciting progress made by our 10ART1 students as they've been hard at work on their latest project—an exploration of the theme of nostalgia through Dada-inspired collage. The students have demonstrated exceptional creativity and dedication throughout their practice.
The project involved a experimentation phase, during which our students delved into various collage techniques. This experimentation not only allowed them to hone their artistic skills but also provided an opportunity for self-discovery and expression.
We are immensely proud of the effort and commitment displayed by each student during the creation of their final works. The theme of nostalgia has been approached with a unique and personal touch, resulting in a collection of diverse and captivating pieces.

Lachlan Amon - Melbourne Aces
Lachlan Amon, Year 12 Napier, has made a remarkable impact in the world of baseball.
He was recently offered a short contract with the Australian Baseball League's (ABL) Melbourne Aces. On Sunday 21st January 2024, Lachlan showcased his talent as a pitcher during a match against Canberra Cavalry, contributing to Melbourne's victory and wowing the crowd.
The Melbourne Aces are as high as you can get in Australia, and this league has developed lots of baseballers to go on and have professional careers in the Major Leagues internationally. Major League teams in the USA, Japan and Korea often send their prospects out to develop their skills in the off-season in the Northern Hemisphere. One of the League MVP's in the MLB actually had a development year for the Melbourne Aces around a decade ago.
Apart from his stint with the Aces, Lachlan currently plays for the Essendon Baseball Club in the Premier Division of the State Summer League. Lachlan's skills were also recognised at the national level, as he pitched for the state team in the U/18 national championships in January 2023, and as such, his potential has not gone unnoticed. The Melbourne Aces, a team known for developing players who go on to have professional careers, provided Lachlan with an opportunity to showcase his talent to college and professional teams.
As he continues to work through the journey of VCE and year 12, the future looks bright for this promising young athlete. We are proud to have him as part of the Strathmore Secondary College community and Napier senior school team.

Year 9 Textiles
Today we did shibori dyeing. We are dyeing fabric to sew our own pillow cases. The unique Japanese indigo dye used to make the patterns and the unique wrapping, or folding techniques used meant no 2 were identical. There were a variety of different techniques used to fold and prepare the shibori to create a variety of different end results.

Burnet Bulletin
Good afternoon to the Burnet community. It has already been a busy start to the year, and after 6 weeks in it almost feels like we never left. To be confident and consistent in our start to a new school year we’ve been focussing on ensuring our students respect the regular expectations of all Strathmore learners, that is: wearing correct school uniform, ensuring students arrive to class on time and are fully prepared, adhering to the mobile phone policy, and to consider how we will demonstrate the PRIDE values in our day to day actions and interactions at school and in the community. Year 7s
Our Year 7 students have truly hit the ground running and are doing a wonderful job of adjusting to secondary school life. Not only are they working out the big changes in the academic side of things, they’ve had pancake breakfasts, peer support sessions and an orientation camp to Anglesea. Congratulations to students and parents/carers alike on the way you have handled the transition from primary school. We’re looking forward to seeing all of our parents at the Year 7 Parent Meet & Greet next Friday the 15th of March.
Peer Support We will be continuing our peer support program this year and have a great group of Year 9 students that have offered to be mentors for our new Year 7s. Our first few sessions pre-camp were really valuable. The program has been successful over a number of years and we really appreciate the work our Year 9 students do with the Year 7s in assisting with their transition, leading activities to develop skills in organisation, resilience, conflict resolution and relationship building.
Year 10 Leaders The Burnet team congratulates our Year 10 leaders for 2024:
Team Leaders: Kerem G, Aki B, Magie E & Marley C.
Student Voice: Keira S & Sienna P.
Events Team: Akin M, Georgia S, Dana A, Jonah H, Hammad S & Mae K.
We look forward to working closely with our leaders to continue to keep Burnet a positive, inclusive and enjoyable team and for continuing to build on student voice and agency in the college. We understand that the start of the school year may have some students feeling nervous or anxious about the challenges ahead. We want to remind students that the Burnet team is here to support students and families as best we can. We have a great relationship with our student support services team who we can connect students with, and who can also assist students and families to access a range of external services if necessary. The Burnet office has an open-door policy and we hope that all students from all year levels will continue to drop in and say hello, have a chat and settle back into to a good routine. We look forward to working with all of you over the year to ensure the best outcomes for students and to strengthen the Burnet community. A belated welcome back to all, let’s have a great year.
